4 New York An.rchist Sentenced.

NEW York, Nov. 12.-Henry Tuber.
the alleged anarchist who was convicted
at the last term of the Hudson county
general sessions, for resisting an officer
during the disturbance which resulted
from the efforts of a band of anarchists
to hold q meeting at Union hall, was ar
raigned for sentence, q motion for o new
trial having been denied. Judge Lip
pencott, in sentencing the prisoner, dwelt
severely upon the methods used by the
anarchists IN carrying out their danger
Gus ideas. He said: sit appears from
the testimony that you had a knife in
your possession, but the court believes
that you did not use 1t. In this land the
existing form Of government and its in
stitutions must be changed only by the
ballot box, and you shall not be allowed
to breed instruction, destroy homes or
destroy the peace Of the community. The
court is willing to give you an opportun-
ity TO reform your ideas of our institu-
tions and laws, and become a good citi-
zen. n sentence is that you pay q fine
OF $3.50 and COSTS 1t is probable that
the fine win be paid by the society of
which Tuber is a member.

to get a stay of sentence of the 0 n
demned anarchists, is serving a four

Is doubtless revenge. Schulz was inter

is a mild-mannered, Industrious young

His foreman was d foreman in the car
shops at Pullman Ill.,, at the time of the
Haymarket riot, and says that Schulz
was working under him then, and was in
Pullman on the night of the tragedy.
Frank Markoff in bis affidavit says
that Schulz told him last January that
he had to leave Chicago because he was
suspected Of connection with the Hay
market riot. He was always talking to
Markoff about anarchy, dynamite and
arson. Once he told Markoff that he
threw the bomb at the Haymarket riot
from behind a wagon. He had bombs
in his possession, and showed them to
Markoff.

Capt. GrIggs said:
The territorial leR islature at its last
session passed q very string nt Law to be
enforced by the commissioners. 1t is .
law which works in the interests OF the
farmers and virtually destroys the
power OF the arrogant mopopolies which
have hitherto controlled the local wheat
markets. Elevator and warehousemen
are row required TO keep ct their places
buying samples of all established
grades, for the inspection OF the farmer.
By this rule the farmer when he brings
bis wheat to market, can exact the full
and iust grade for his
production, having access to these sam
piles. in bargaining WITH thu buyer. Ii
las materially increased the ratio of No.

territory, especially IN the Red river
valley, at the expense of the lover
grades. In fact, / think the Red river

Grafton, averaging from tweDty-six to
t~wenty-eight bushels TO the acre. But
the prices have been very low this year,
No ! hard bringing only from 81 to 5S

Farmers generally, l think, are rails
ing less wheat than five years ago, and
turning their attention more to raising
cattle and diverse field crops. This IS q
